A Romantic Marriage.

There is halo of romance over the
marriage of the niece of the late Presi-
dent Arthur, Miss Ellen Bolts, OF Say
annah, to Mr.. J. H. Blaikie. The ex-
citement Of the earthquake injured her
eyes so much that an oculist declared
there was certainty of her losing her
sight. She Immediately sent word to
Mr.. Blaikie, who was in Scotland, re-
leasing him from the engagement. He
refused to accept it, and came here by
the next steamer to urge an immediate
marriage. This expression of his lidel-
ity produced a great nervous reaction in
Miss Bolts system which ended in the
restoration of her eyesight. The young
couple go to Scotland next month.

roads cover 2,227.27 miles, and their
aggregate value is placed at So, $751;
1856. The highest valuation per
mile is upon the Western & Atlantic,
which is placed at $27, 276, and has
but fifteen and one-half miles in the
State. Next follows the Louisville

the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.

East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia

The above report, compared with
the Assessors report for 1886, shows
an increase of rs! in mileage, and
$8l4,273.65 in the valuation. The in
crease is principally due to the extern
sion of branches, and there is but a
very slight increase in the valuations
per mile.

MeIited Retaliation.

In New York city, about fifty years
ago, two gentlemen-Brown and
Smith, we shall call them-ownedad-
joining lots in the most thriving part
of town.
AS business progressed, MI. Brown
decided to pull down his old store
and put up a handsome building.
He spared no expense. The foun-
dation was dug extra deep and laid
with unusual care {; the material used
in the seven-story building was the
finest brick the walls were held to-
gether by huge iron keys; heaters,
gas pipes, water pipes and vaults
were built into the solid masonry.
When all was finished, the store
was leased to a tenant, who soon took
possession, and business proceeded
satisfactorily to landlord and tenant.
Mr.. Smith, in the meantime, be-
coming jealous of his neighbours good
fortune, decided to initiate his ex-
ample.
He also pulled down his old store,
and made preparations to build a
new one.
At this point he (Mr. Smith) called
upon Mr.. Brown, with the. informa-
tion that his (Mr. Brown,s) building
encroached one inch and a half on his
land. The land was surveyed and
the fact proved.

cision 81 want that land, and 1 will

Nothing availed to influence this
despicable man; money, friends,
charity, in turn had no effect.
AT a great loss, Mr.. Brown was
compelled to pull down his wall and
rebuild on his own ground.
During the discussion, Smiths
building was begun. He made an
effort to Guido his neighbor in solidi-

A Good Whitewash.

One of the best recipes for white
wash is that called Treasury De-
partment, whitewash." The name
arose doubtless from the fact that it
is the recipe sent out by the light
house board of the treasury depart
ment. Stake one-half bushel of lime
with boiling water, keeping it cover
ed during the process. Strain it off
and add a peck of salt previously dis
solved in warm water, three pounds
of ground rice previously boiled in
water to a thick paste ,one-half pound
of powdered Spanish whiting and a
pound of clear glue dissolved in warm
water. Mix these various ingredients
together and let stand for several
days. Keep the wash thus prepared
in a kettle or boiler, and when used
apply it as hot as practicable with a
white wash brush.

To Cleanse Barrels.

Cor. Springfield Farm and Home.
Every farmer should know there is
a simple way by which the foulest
meat or cider barrel, or tub in which
butter has grown rancid, can be
cleansed as well and sweet as new.
Simply boil a kettle of pumpkins un-
til soft, put in the barrel hot, cover
close and let it remain until cold. 1
never knew it to fail of doing the
business. 1t is not necessary that the
barrel be full, but perhaps the more
in the better, in a bad case. thought
a nearly new pork barrel a few years
ago that had pork spoil in it and
treated it in that way and have used
it ever since with no trouble.

ty and expense; he built a story
higher; he was more elaborate in
improvements and embellishments.
He also found a desirable tenant,
and business with him fourished, as
with Mr.. Brown. When business
was particularly thriving, Smith re.
ceived a call from Brown.
81 wish to inform you, Mr.. Smith,"
said Mr.. Brown, "that your building
encroaches one and a half inches up
on my ground"
AS in the other case, the ground
was surveyed and the fact proved.
In rebuilding, Brown had purpose
ly set his wall back three inches, and
in this way entrapped his avaricious
neighbor.
The consequence was that Smith
had no mercy shown to him. Not
only was he compelled to remove
and rebuild his wall, but his tenant
made him pay for a broken contract.
Mr.. Brown, on the contrary, found
friends and sympathy everywhere,
and in time he was compensated for
pecuniary losses. s3ls

A THEY SAID TO HIM.
Greeting of the Hand Shaking Throng
and President Cleveland's Replies.

Philadelphia Ledger.
Those surrounding the president
were considerably amused at many
of the incidents of the reception.
Most of the people came up to the
president with q broad smile on their
faces and shook hands with a formal
"How are you," or 4 am happy to
meet you?" though hundreds did
nothing but look their delight.
Some of the visitors, as if dazed,
passed the president without MOTTO
ing him, and were recalled by the
president tapping them on the Shout
der with a pleasant, You r for
getting what you came for"
One old lady shook hands in a
matter-of-fact manner, and when
half way to the exit turned and
cried Is that the president? Oh,
is that the president ?" as if just dis
covering whose hand she had taken.
A middle-aged lady, with red hair,
and a square determined chin, came
up to the president in a cheerful way,
and, grasping his hand, reached up
on tiptoes and kissed him, to the vast
amusement of those who saw the &C.
currence.
A dignitied gentleman, as he pass
ed, said 81 am from CALDWELL"
and received a warm greeting from
Mr.. Cleveland, who remarked to the
newspaper men beside him "Cald-
we'll was my birthplace"
A well-dressed young lady said:
CAT last' with a sigh of relief; anoth-
er inquired disappointed Where
is Mrs. Cleveland?" The president
responded politely 81 left her at
home this morning" After a dozen
soldier and sailors in uniform had
passed, an elderly gentleman APP
peared, who said: MI. President,
L congratulate you on your admins
tration." MI. Cleveland replying,
"Thank you"
A burly man in a wooden shirt,
the sleeves of which were rolled up,
came next in line, and shouted :
"Grover, old boy, shake hands," the
response being, How are you, old
fellow?"
An old lady uttered the somewhat
familiar expression, God bless our
President" while many of those in
line said, "God bless you, sir" One
enthusiastic visitor stopped to re-
mark, You are the first Democrat /
ever voted for, and" he continued,
as he was hurried on by the police
men, 81 will vote for you again."
Another visitor remarked We
had an awful time getting here" To
which President Cleveland'5 reply
was 81 had an awful time waiting
for you"

made for the purpose! Nothing less
than such a saw, or a pirates cutlass,
could sever that homely but whole
some pain rdSSis.
These loaves, we knew, were bak-
ed only once a month. Bread day in
a Norman peasant family is like
washing day on an American farm,
in the respect that it comes at regu-
lar periods. We judged that bread
day in this cottage was approaching,
from the fact that only six loaves re-
NAMED of the original thirty or
thereabout.
After our luncheon Ernestine took
us through the orchard to a pictur-
esque stone building, where the
bread wa wont to be made. This
building had one been part of an
ancient abbey, and amid its ivy-cov-
cred ruins we could still trace fine
sculpture and bits ofarmorial designs,
but inside there was no trace of art
or architecture. 1t was really a Nor
man hen house. We saw several
pairs of SGbots or wooden shoes hang
ing from the wall and looking as if
they had been whitewashed.
In one corner of the place was a
large space inclosed with boards.
This was empty, but, like the Sa6ots,
it suggested whitewash or mortar
making. 1850
Ernestine told us that this was the
family dough trough. Hither, once
a month, came her father and the
hired man to "set" the yeast a-ris-
ing. Flour and water we're stirred
together with the huge wooden
spades shaped like our snow shovels
which hung with the sabots upon the
wall. When the mass, thoroughly
beaten together, had risen and as
sumed a dark color and leathery con-
sistency, then came the tug of war.
The two men put on the Sa6ots over
their ordinary shoes, jumped in upon
the dough, and began the kneading.
Their way was to hop and prance
and flourish like opera dancers, to
stamp and kick like horses, exerting
themselves till the perspiration
streamed off them and they had no
strength left. After this process the
dough was put into the pans, and
then baked in the huge oven at the
rear of the abbatial hen house.
In all Norman towns half-clad men
may often be seen lounging about
bake house doors. Their legs and
feet are bare and fieury, and as they
tread the streets we know that they
have just come from or are returning
to their usual occupation of kneading
bread.
Mon Dieu!" exclaimed Ernes-
tine when we told her that in Amer
lea bread making was woman's
work.
Mon Dieu! how cruel your men
are! j would rather shoe horses!"

One summers day we stopped to
call at the stone farm house of Mon
sieur Duval. Ernestine, the eldest
daughter, was housekeeper in her
dead mothers place, and she it was
who brought out the amber-colored
cider, the goats cheese, and the
heavy, hard, country bread. 1t il an

against the black wall. These loaves

TO HER WHOSE CREED is: I" WE
LOVE BUT ONCE"

Do not new flowers bloom every spring
Fair blossoms like the last years store?
And do they less Of beauty bring,
Because their stems have bloomed before?
Does not the orchard hang each year
With yari,hued and mellowing meats?
Hath natures sweetness vanished here,
Because last year We plucked such sweets?
The mock.bird, in his season, sings
His plant from yonder apple.tree:
He ceases, but the next year brings
His old song sweet as yore TO me.
The far.set stars shine every night,
But day bedims their tender CLEANS;
When darkness gives again their light,
Do we turn tired from their beams?
Wouldst have the rose tree die away,
And bloom but once-and nevermore?
Wouldst bid the orchard wither, say,
Because last year sweet fruit 1t bore?
Wouldst smother yon sweet singers voice,
Wouldst have the stars henceforth grow
black ais.1 yttas
Because one year he sang his Joys?
Because last night they lit thy track?
Wouldst Danish Love because one day
He came into thy life an hourpe
Shall life be %loveless here Away
Because Love strayed once from its bower!
AS well bid nature cease her ways
OF bloom, of fruit, Of harvest time,
OF song, of silence, shine and haze,
As Danish life's sweets from our days,
And exile Love for one small crime.

The Prussians have been saying
that whatever you wish to appear in
the life of a nation you must put in
to its schools. Will the Republic be

believe that as soon as the children
can be taught to 60 alone on their
feet they should be permitted to go
alone in their judgment, their man.
ners and their principles? A pleas
ant aphorism offs German poet, that
a wise age reverences the dreams of
its youth, appears to frighten parents
from setting up a rule in their own
houses. The children are consulted
as to what they like, which is well
enough with the important limita-
ton hat a large part of the divinely
appointed business of their fathers
and mothers is to teach them what
they ought to like. 1t is reckoned
despotic to eoerce nature, as if we did
not bring into the world in our nature
a great deal which, unless somebody
does coerce it, ruins us. Earl
Ter and earlier the reins are loosed
on the necks of juvenile inclinations,
till that whole period of beautiful
and blessed subsection which Saxon
homes once knew as boyhood and
girlhood is eaten away by premature
and offensive self-assertion, and in
stead of boys and girls we have lit
tie men and little women. Some
futile attempts are made, too late, to
hire or bride the virtues which might
have been healthily grown under a
sturdier nurture. Indulgence ends in
misery. Sharper cruelty can hardly
be done to a child than to leave him
alone in those things in which God
ordains the parent to act over him
and for him. Whenever we come to
be a lawless land, as we certainly
shall after four or five generations
have grown up in it, this great
country" will bea great grave Of true
freedom of manly virtue and peace.
Where the young are brought up to
obey, not coaxed or supplicated to
obey, in explicit allegiance to a do
minion in the family, the foundation
is laid for a solid social fabric. From
this home legislation the first trans
fer is to school. The same firm hand
of law, strict and merciful because it
is strict, is meant to take him up
there, too, holding him and guiding
him. The whole apparatus of educa-
tion, from top to bottom, fails unless
it chastens and molds the mind to
orderly methods. Not more 'self-re-
lance, but more intellectual humility
is now our national want. Orators
forget that the reaction from mental
tyranny finally achieves its object,
and that it is small gain if we escape
from the terrors of the mob. To Gre
ate in the scholar patient, modest and
obedient action of the whole intellec-
tual nature is a benefit that lasts on
the personal experience, and makes
an abiding element in character,
opening the soul to all the light Of
truth. Oftwo graduates from college
